Title:	Ubuntu USN-893-1 (samba)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to samba announced via advisory USN-893-1. Details follow: Ronald Volgers discovered that the mount.cifs utility, when installed as a setuid program, suffered from a race condition when verifying user permissions.
